Our country is in a very bad state, owing to cholera. We do not attend the neighbouring markets as usual, unless on particular emergencies. The disorder has not yet appeared in the town of Glasslough, but, in its neighbourhood, from a place called Desert to Emyvale, it is raging fearfully. One man, who died of it, remained 2 days and 3 nights unburied and uncoffined! Another man, whose wife was dying, fled from his house, and has not since returned and, when, after the lapse of several hours, some persons had the hardihood to venture into the house, a child was found (a horrible spectacle!) sucking its dead mother!! Indeed the disease is all around us; it is also in Middletown in a very sad state and a considerable part of the inhabitants have fled. The parish of Tyhallon, within three quarters of a mile of where I reside, has been also visited very severely and several have died and a place called Tully has suffered very much. I am happy to say that it has very much abated in Monaghan. Belfast Newsletter 3 Dec. 1833 - Cholera We learn with great regret that cholera prevails in the small town of Middleton, county of Armagh and in the town of Emyvale, in the county of Monaghan. We are sorry to learn also that the disease has appeared in Ballybay, in the latter county. The number of cases in the town of Monaghan amounted to 106; deaths 58; recoveries 48. In Tanderagee, the number of cases was 88; deaths 39; recoveries 49; convalescent 10 Enniskillen Chronicle 1st Mar. 1834 - Murder of a Woman by her Husband On Monday last, an inquest was held at Lisburn by Mr. ALLEN on the body of a woman named THOMPSON, who died in consequence of blows inflicted on her by her husband, William THOMPSON, publican, of that town. It appeared in evidence that they had lived very disagreeably, disputes of the most violent nature, being frequent between them and much aggravation usually given by both parties. THOMPSON, however, was habitually intemperate and on Saturday night last he abused her greatly. She arose on Monday morning, and was in her shop about 8 o'clock, when, finding herself very ill and weak, from the abuse received on Sat. night, she told her servant maid she would go to bed again; she did so and lay down beside her husband, but had not been 10 minutes there, when he (THOMPSON) arose and called out she was dead! Her body presented an awful appearance; all discoloured and swollen; there was also a deep cut in her head, which an attempt was made, at the inquest, to prove she had got by a fall. The Coroner's jury sat for 5 hours on this case, as much contradictory evidence was given. The body was examined by 3 surgeons and the Jury gave their verdict that the deceased, Mary THOMPSON, came by her death in consequence of blows inflicted on her by her husband, William THOMPSON. THOMPSON was sent off to Carrickfergus jail on Tuesday; he did not appear in the least concerned. Newry Examiner 27th Mar. 1835 Execution in Omagh The unfortunate men, MOUTRAY and M'KENNA, condemned to death on Wednesday evening for the murder of Mr. WILSON, whose only offence appeared to be that he was the Master of an Orange lodge, underwent the extreme penalty of the law at the front of the gaol. They separately addressed the assembled multitude very audibly. M‘KENNA, addressing his father and friends, who stood underneath the drop, bade them farewell, protesting his innocence in the most fervent manner, and expressing his confidence in obtaining mercy in the sight of his God. MOUTRAY also bade farewell to all he could recognise; he declared that he alone was guilty of the murder of Mr. WILSON; warned all within his hearing to avoid bad company and particularly against absenting themselves from home at late hours and drinking spirits, as they were the causes (he said) of his untimely end. The crowd assembled was very great.
